Edition No. 2 — Recalibrate & Realign: Are You Still Headed Where You Want to Go?

I have always felt like spring was when the real New Year began. After months of cold, dark days, the sun finally returns, the heavy coats come off, and sweaters grow lighter.

Spring puts a fresh pep in my step—this is when I feel genuinely ready to go all in.

Ready to revisit and re-evaluate those New Year’s goals I eagerly set but might have drifted from in the hustle of daily life.

It's mid-April, the air feels lighter, and something about this moment is saying, "Begin again."

But here's the catch:

Life is busy. You might be moving at such a pace that you haven’t paused to ask yourself lately:

Am I still headed where I truly want to go?

Or are you running on autopilot, chasing outdated goals, routines, or an old version of yourself?

Or are you still on course and ready to find out whats next?

Either way, you’re not alone.

It's easy to slip out of alignment with the vision you set months ago.

But right now is the perfect moment to recalibrate—not just your goals, but your entire approach to how you're designing your life.

This edition is your gentle nudge and your permission slip to pause, reflect, and intentionally choose what's next.

Thoughtful Finds

• Spring cleaning our homes is great but we often forget about other areas of our life. One area that greatly benefits from a review and spruce up is our finances. 

• The Spring Reset we all need right now. Listen to this on a walk or while tackling that junk drawer that you keep saying you’ll get to… eventually.

• Only getting to the gym on the weekends? Might not need to feel as guilty about it as you do. Why this might be more beneficial than you think!

Editors Highlight

If you’re using this season to rewrite your route, realign your goals, or gently reimagine what’s next—this is for you.

The Life Design Jumpstart Guide is a beautifully practical tool to help you pause with purpose, reconnect with what matters, and move forward with clarity.

It’s like a spring refresh for your vision, routines, and next steps—without needing to burn everything down to begin again.

✨ Not fluff. Not pressure. Just grounded, thoughtful direction.

Rewriting the Route

Somewhere along the way, we start believing that sticking to the original plan is a sign of strength. That changing direction means we’ve failed, or wasted time, or lost our edge.

But what if the plan no longer fits?

What if the version of you who set those goals in January is not the version of you standing here now?

That’s not inconsistency. That’s growth.

Spring has a way of inviting us back to clarity. The world is blooming again, and so are you. It’s the perfect time to pause—not to punish yourself for what didn’t happen, but to ask what you want now.

We spring clean our homes to make space for what feels fresh, aligned, and alive—so why not do the same with our goals?

This is the season to declutter the expectations, timelines, and to-do lists that no longer reflect who you're becoming.

Because living intentionally isn’t about rigidly clinging to past plans—it’s about designing a life that feels right now.

Checking in doesn’t mean starting over. It means honoring where you are.

If you’re on the right track—amazing, keep going.

And if something feels off? This is the perfect moment to rework the plan before you drift too far from what really matters.

• What still feels aligned?

• What feels heavy, forced, or outdated?

• Where are you headed—and is that still the right destination?

Rewriting the route doesn’t mean abandoning your dreams. It means honoring your evolution. Letting your plans grow with you.

Maybe that looks like slowing down.
Maybe it means starting fresh.
Maybe it’s a small shift in focus that changes everything.

This season, give yourself permission to reroute with grace.

Let it be softer. Smarter. More in tune with who you are now.

The destination can stay the same—or it can change. What matters most is that the path you’re on is still one you actually want to walk.

This is your invitation to realign, not from pressure, but from presence.

You’re allowed to choose again.
You’re allowed to design a life that fits the woman you are becoming.Intention Essentials

Intentional Essentials

1. Life gets super busy any sometimes its hard to stay on top of nutrient dense foods and getting enough of what our body needs. I love a good reset in the spring when we are changing over from heavy dishes to lighter seasonal eating. Sakara Life is my top pick for premade, straight to your door, nutrient dense, healthy food. Save time and eat great! New customers get 20% off with my code ZASAKARA at checkout!

2. I cannot tell you how much I dislike waking up to my phone alarm clock. Not only is it terrible for your health to sleep next to (more info here), I just never know what is going to slip through my DND filter and wake me up out of my Rem cycle that I work so hard to get into. The Hatch Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock and Sound Machine. Not only will this help you fall asleep with a lovely library of sounds but it wakes you up with a gentle sunrise. Who doesn’t LOVE that?

3. I take a walk everyday sometimes more than one. I love being outside and moving my body. Its the perfect time to think, dream, and get inspired with the beauty that surrounds us. I also love when I can do two things at once so wearing my Bala Bangles on my ankles or wrists while walking helps me get that little extra workout in. Not only am I strengthening my mind but my body too!

4. I don’t know about you but in the spring I’m ready to travel. I love going on weekend trips to see all of the blooming trees and flowers waking up from their long winter slumber. Something about seeing the world come alive again just gives me more life. For a day trip or quick trip when I don’t want to take my roll on, I choose my Béis Weekend Travel Bag. It fits so much but doesn’t feel bulky. I can pack my shoes in the bottom so they don’t touch my clothes and the straps are really comfy to carry. It also fits perfectly on top of my roller bag when I do need a little extra.

Something Extra

Wherever you are finding yourself this spring, whether walking directly into the success of your plans or finding yourself a little lost and in need of recalibration or somewhere in between this season is the perfect time to comeback to center and come back to yourself.

Realignment doesn’t require reinvention (unless you want it to). Just presence, clarity and the willingness to choose your path again.

You’ve got this & I’m here with you.
